THE IRON DRAGON
NAMED AFTER: A mythical beast of long ago
THEME: Simulates flight as it's bright blue cars, suspended under it's red track, sway side to side with the force of gravity. Riders skim above treetops and swoop over a misty lagoon. A giant pretzel-knot loop over water creates an exciting finale.
TRACK LENGTH: 2,800 feet
LIFT HEIGHTS: 76 feet and 62 feet
TIME: 2 min
SPEED: 35-40 mph
CARS: 3 trains with 7 4-passenger across cars
OPENED: 1987
WHERE: Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio
MY COMMENTS: This was the first hanging coaster I ever rode, and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. It is still a little fun, but it is not thrilling at all. It's more relaxing than anything else.
